I hate Bernie but that might not be that far off. I’ve seen lots of people on this site say they pay close to 1000 and sometimes over that in monthly premiums.

Sure. 75 year old smokers do. Normal families don’t.

Mine is more than that if you include my employer's portion. Not a Dem or Bernie supporter.

I think ours is roughly 17k.

ETA - family plan. Don't want to be misleading with the "mine". Above employee and spouse only, the cost is the same whether you have 1 kid or 6
